treatment of Heart Disease.

For generations the main idea in the
treatment OF organic heart disease has
been physical rest to diminish the labor
of the damaged organ. We have been in
the habit of prohibiting all forms of active
labor to the sufferers from cardiac dis
ease. and the principle of our treatment
has been the unexpressed but ever present
idea. accepted as a self evident axiom,
that perfect rest was the best means OF
securing muscular compensation.
Professor Oertel's experiments and re-
suits have come with startling surprise
upon those who forgot to distinguish be-
tween useful principle and the excep-
tons which the multiformity Of disease
renders il imperative TO recognize. As Is
well known. he treats considerable pro
portion Of cases Of organic heart disease
by regulated exercise, especially gradu-
ated ascents Of mountains, and his results
place the value OF his method beyond rea-
sonable dispute. There 10 nothing really
surprising either in his treatment or the
success which has attended H. A little
reflection will suffice TO convince us that
while rest is often useful, and indeed
quite indispensable, in heart disease, there
are vet many cases in which well regulat-
cd exercise will improve the nutrition OF
the cardiac muscle, as Of the rest of the
muscular system, and hence tend 10 the
promotion Of circulatory yigor. -Medica!

On but one occasion that | can noW
recall was Mr. Lincoln's habitual good
humor visibly overtaxed by these wei
meaning but impatient advisers. A com
mittee Of clergymen from the west called
one day and the spokesman, fired with
uncomfortable zeal poured forth a lecture
which was fault finding from beginning
to end IL was delivered with much en-
erry. and the shortcomings OF the admin
istratiOn were rehearsed with painful Ill
rectness. The reverend orator made some
keen thrusts, which evoked hearty ap-
plause from other members Of the com
mittce.
Mr. Lincoln's reply was notable one.
With unusual animation he said: Gen
tlemen. suppose all the property you pos
sess were in gold, and you had placed 1t
in the hands of Blondin 10 carry across

cautious, steady step he walks the rope,

Neither OF the bear hunters said word

GOOD. II Couldn't be that he had actually
killed a bear-a real wild black, shaggy
bear And yet there were the blades OF
grass smeared with the life current OF the
animal
The two pushed on for about a quarter
Of mile, when they came TO little
clearing ia the center OF which there was
a pine tree. There was a clump Of bushes
near its base, where the trail suddenly
terminated Parting the branches, a most
pleasant sight was revealed to Jimmy and
his companion. Lying upon the ground,
with his body bent in half circle, lay
poor old bruin. His life had flown Just at
the threshold of his home He hadn t
sufficient strength remaining when ho
reached his abode to climb 10 his snug
quarters in the big pine tree. IL was more
in sorrow than eXultation that Jimmy
bent over the noble animal AMI gave his
shining coat a plying stroke. After a
short consultation it was decided to re
move the skin and carry it to camp This
the Indian did with great care, and when
the trophy was shown to the boys Jimmy
was voted the greatest sportsman that had
visited that section for years. -l3oston

HArLEY's POSITION
A. Defined by his own Organ, the
Idaho Democrat.

Hon. John HALEY is expected to ar
rive home this week. He is one Of the
few members Of Congress. who carried
out, 30 far as possible, the platform Of
tho party that nominated him and the
wishes Of his people as expressed BY
their votes. Mr.. HALEY was personally
bitterly opposed to the annexation scheme,
and made gallant and strong fight
against it. The citizens Of Boise have
not forgotten the speech he made on
Nye's corner on the eve Of election four
years ago, wherein he tod Of the results
that would follow the favoring Of that
measure. Nor have they forgotten how
his appeals were met with derisiye
laughter by those who favored the dis
memberment Of the territory. He spent
one thousand dollars in this county be.
sides nearly months hard work, in
fighting annexation. Mr.. Singiser, the
champion Of the scheme, and who first
gave it tangible shape as instructed BY
tho republican convention, swept the
territory BY one Of the most pronounced
msjorities ever received. Subsequent
events are too fresh in the public mind
to mention in detail. Mr.. HALEY told
the democratic convention emphatically,
the night before his nomination, not Ia
put an annexation plank in its platform
unless done seriously; that, if it was
done he would labor earnestly and faith.
fully to bring it about ss he would every
other measure that he might be pledged
to carry out, that at heart he was against
it, etc, etc. Both parties adopted seq
regation, it became really the issue Of the
campaign, and Mr.. HALEY Won. HI
entered upon the discharge Of his dutie,
and redeemed his pledge. The reader
knows what followed. Having kept
faith with the North, his obligation
ceased with the expiration of bis term o.

HE HAS SETTLED THE ANNEXATION
QUESTION, DURING HIS TERN, AT LEAST.
Hon. Fred. T. Dubois writes from
Washington, the 9th Inst, as follows:
The President refused to sign the seq.
gregatiou bill, aud never will sign one,
probably. Idaho, in consequence, will
remain Idaho-during his and my term,
at least; and it strikes me that we had
better stop ngitating tho question and
devote our attention to something else
in the way Of internal improvement. I
will ask Congress to help us in this di-
rection, / think
As repeatedly stated in the Times,
without North Idaho there would be
nothing left us but annexation; but with
North Idaho the people Of Southern
Idaho will not desire annexation to Ne.
vada or to any other commonwealth"
How soothing to its conscience.
Wonder If it will not make pilgrimage
to the states to have Cleveland renomi-
mated and elected. We think our aHoly
Moses Governor" will furnish the money.
